Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons (about) Thai red curry paste*
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk*
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 5.95-ounce cans straw mushrooms, drained
3 kaffir lime leaves or 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
